But most of the times, that's just it, it's changed. Most of the times it's the artists that get bored and change, and the public doesn't like their new adventures - think Infected Mushroom, for example. But who would possibly say that Trance as a whole is dead? Have you looked at pictures and videos from Boom Festival, for example? Maybe that's not your kind of thing, and it's fine, but there's still plenty of people around and the scene is pretty much alive and even some labels are still doing well releasing Trance material. Maybe you weren't even thinking of psychedelic trance in the first place, I bet. But that just proves the point, what the fuck is trance to start with? Besides a label, some concept that's used to define stuff that ranges from Tiesto to Psykovsky - and I believe there's like two galaxies in between those worlds, just saying...
Embrace the troll that's within you eheheh these trolls living under the bridges can throw parties there as well, it's like a troll neo-shamanic ritual, insane...

This quote says it all: "
Language is a virus from outerspace." written by William S. Burroughs, and used by Laurie Anderson in a song of same name.
As Cultural Creatives, we should of all humans, remain open-minded to all forms of expression. Just because a person does not *like* a genre, it certainly does not invalidate it's creative ability. True creativity uses critical thinking, looking outside, upside and down from any given genre to make something new and innovative. Rant over, going back up to the mothership...
